Disaster Relief
ConocoPhillips is dedicated to providing urgent support to communities impacted by natural disasters and pandemics. Support comes from direct company gifts and employee donations alike. Employees who donate to these causes may match funds from the company's generous Matching Gift program. As of 2024, ConocoPhillips China donated over RMB 8.72 million for earthquake, COVID-19 pandemic and disaster relief in China.
One of the most important contributions has been to the development of a Disaster Assessment System, which provides for a multi-faceted matrix to assist industry peers in providing quick damage assessments following unexpected disasters.
